UK WEATHER temperatures are set to remain in the mid-teens for Thursday ahead of a tropical weather system set to push temperatures up even further.

The Met Office has indicated that Thursday’s temperatures are more aligned with spring weather but temperatures are still expected to rise. The BBC have also added that the warm air will be because of a “tropical” weather system being brought from the Caribbean. The Met Office’s Becky Mitchell said: “For all of us it will be mild and it stays mild over the next few days.

“We have got southerly winds being drawn up from the Canary Islands by areas of low pressure heading towards the country.

“High pressure across the continent will keep it drier and brighter for most of us.

“With those warm temperatures, it will feel more like spring.

“The best of the brightness this morning will be across parts of the Midlands and down towards the southeast.

“You can see it is a mild start to the day with temperatures already 10 degrees across the south.

“The cloudy skies in the north and west will tend to linger but it will start to break up and we will see some brighter spells”

The temperatures in Scotland, particularly Aberdeenshire could see temperatures get up to 17 degrees Celsius in the afternoon.

Elsewhere in the country temperatures are expected to sit at the mid-teens and maintain these levels into the evening.

The Met office meteorologist added: “Through the evening winds will start to strengthen in the western areas so it will feel a touch cooler.

“But otherwise it will be fairly dry for most of us on our journey home.

“Into the overnight period, we will start to see some fog just drift into the southern counties of the UK slowly making its way into Wales and the Midlands.

“Come Friday morning it could be a foggy start for some of us but eventually that should clear away for a dry and sunny day.

BBC weather forecaster Ben Rich added that ahead of this, the UK can expect a “tropical” system sweeping towards the nation from the Caribbean.

He said: “I will tell you what we are going to feel in the air over the next couple of days and that is something tropical. Some really warm air heading our way.

“Those temperatures could be set to climb even further because the jet stream, the winds far up in the atmosphere have picked up really really warm air, from close to the Caribbean, bringing it in our direction.

“It is essentially tropical air, yes it has cooled off a little bit on its journey, but it still brings the potential for temperatures to climb to 17C possibly 18C in one or two places over the next couple of days. Yes, it is still only February.”
